The history of FREESCO
FREESCO is a spin-off of Project Ballantain. Development on Ballantain has stopped. The manual is still online, but for how long?

The latest version of Ballantain in my possesion is dated May 18, 1999.

Objective: Getting secure (and fast) connection from Windows environment to remote VNC
server behind router/firewall (such as FREESCO) with ssh server installed.
Achieved results: Secure connection to remote desktop using open source VNC or Tight VNC
software (that is normally doesn't encrypt traffic other than password). As a “side-effect”, shorter
response times achieved due to ssh efficient traffic compression. Also, no additional port is left
open other than ssh port on remote server/router…text/html2009-08-14T07:45:33+01:00dingetjefreesco:manuals:03x:introductionhttp://dingetje.homeip.net/dokuwiki/freesco/manuals/03x/introduction?rev=1250228733&do=diff

Introduction
This DokuWiki (what's a wp>Wiki?) has been setup in an attempt to come up with a better manual.
Sure, we already have a manual, but IMHO this manual lack explanation to the how and why of certain options. No offence to the authors! I know a lot of hours went into it allready.
It is my hope that FREESCO users will pitch in and give something back to the community by adding their inputs to this wiki. Eventually a better manual will evolve.
